BSF Inspector General Abhishek Pathak told the media, “During Operation Sindoor on May 7, 2025, Indian forces crossed into Pakistan and struck terrorist hideouts with precision. Importantly, no Pakistani military bases or civilians were targeted.”He added, “In retaliation, on May 8, Pakistan launched relentless drone and missile attacks. Since Operation Sindoor, Pakistan carried out over 600 drone strikes until the ceasefire, but the BSF, backed by the Army and Air Force, successfully thwarted every single attack.”Pathak emphasised, “Despite Pakistan’s aggressive assaults, not a single BSF jawan or civilian on the Gujarat border was harmed.”The BSF Inspector General said, “The India-Pakistan border in Gujarat presents a unique geographical challenge. It’s either desert or creek, with marshy, saline soil and a hot, humid climate. Movement routes are severely limited, forcing soldiers to patrol and operate on foot through difficult marshy terrain.”He also said, “During Operation Sindoor, the Indian Army, Air Force, and state police forces provided full cooperation—working seamlessly as a united force. The district administration and border citizens played a crucial role in the operation.”He added, “The Border Security Force received unwavering support from the district administration, leaving no stone unturned to ensure the safety of border residents. We also received extensive assistance from the Gujarat state government, including the Chief Minister and Home Minister.”
